6/13/20 Update! 2020 Fall Rally Postponed!
To all Montana Owners Club (MOC) members:
After much consideration, and with sad hearts, we have decided to postpone the 2020 Annual North American-National Fall Rally until September of 2021. Our decision was not an easy one to make. We feel that with all the uncertainty brought on by COVID-19 and all its conditions, restrictions, and limitations, our final decision was made in the best interest for all our members.
Due to the State of Indiana regulations on maintaining Social Distancing at events, activities like the Ladies Driving School, the Keystone Tech Repairs, the Plant Tours, and the Amish Dinner could not have taken place this year. These same regulations would have also significantly impacted the number of members that we could have had in attendance.
We are all looking forward to a more normal 2021, if nothing else, we will have a better idea of what the New Normal will be in one year. We will begin to work on our plans for 2021 with our focus on making it the most memorable and special MOC National Rally ever to be held.
Save this date now to join us September 8th - 15th for the 2021 Montana Annual North American-National Fall Rally.
Lastly, we are working on the possibility of having a “Virtual Rally” in 2020. Keep checking back for details.
We wish everyone good health and safe travels until we see you again next year!
Best regards from your Wagon Masters,
Richard & Marilyn Dube

That’s very disappointing, but you did the right thing. I appreciate that this was not an easy decision to make. Sure hope to see you next year! Thanks for all that you have done to get to this point.

You know what it is all good. We are all still here on the forum. I am sure, even that it is disappointing news that everyone here understands why the decision was made it was done in a loving, caring decision that no one comes home sick with the COVID-19. I know that I would not want that to happen to anyone that i new and care for. Another thing a lot of folk's here are buying new Montana's this year. We could have a full house next year. All in GOD'S time...

Right decision. With so many seniors at these rallies this could be devastating to our members. Nothing is more important than your health.

Call it a peaceful protest and it will all be good.

Sad but looking forward to a virtual rally. Won’t be the same but can still “get together” that way. Thanks for all your work and careful consideration!

Thanks to the Wagon Masters and their Team for all you have done up to this point to try and keep the Fall Rally a go but we do understand and we know you will continue to do planning for the 2021 Fall Rally. That Rally should be bigger and better than you had hoped the 2020 Rally to be. Looking forward to the 2021 Fall Rally and also looking forward to a possible Virtual Fall Rally and all that it might contain even though we will not be able to be there in person this year. Best of luck and hope everyone stays safe during this time of unknowns!

We too want to THANK our Wagon Masters, Richard & Marilyn for all the hours they have put into planning the Rally and the many sleepless nights they have had in making this decision.
It clearly is the right decision and we have 2021 to look forward to along with the possibility of a 2020 Virtual Rally.
Stay safe everyone!
